Summary

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to conflicting schedules, the KFS crew originally planned to record the All-Time 5th Pick Draft on Thursday night, with the intention of releasing it as an episode on Labor Day. Obviously, Donovan Mitchell getting traded adjusted our plans quite a bit. Right before we were about to start recording, Woj's report of the Knicks offer in early July came in creating even more confusion. What followed is the "opening segment" you're about to hear where Jon & Benjy react to this news, the last 2 months of reported negotiations and the full realization that, in the end, Donovan Mitchell will not be suiting up for the Knicks after all. Tune in Monday for the actual All-Time 5th Pick Draft! As always, thanks for listening :) -GMAC Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	I've been trying to think about this from every which way for the last six hours.
0:05.5	And it doesn't help when it seems like every half hour to 45 minutes to an hour,
0:10.5	there's another little piece of news, which is why I'm not sure if you're ever going to hear this,

0:33.2	So let's start there.
0:34.6	What are your, what are your thoughts?
0:38.5	Yeah, a lot of thoughts.
0:40.8	I'm surprised.
0:42.1	I think the number one thought that the Cleveland news came out of left field.
0:46.1	The last report that we heard was that Cleveland was out of the running.
0:51.8	And it kind of just sprung on me.
0:53.8	And I always just figured this trade would get done at some
0:56.2	point so and I've said that multiple times on this podcast and elsewhere so I was shocked by that
1:02.1	and then my thought was there's there was a lot of talk about the Knicks negotiating against themselves and that they can play hardball.
1:17.0	And I always said at some point when it comes to a player of this caliber at this age, someone's going to offer a deal, a really good deal.
1:29.3	It will happen.
1:31.3	And you could say you're negotiating against yourselves for as long as you want to say it, but you're not.
1:37.3	It's a 30-team league.
1:38.3	There are only 20 players that make a massive difference.
